2 WHeeL 12 - Rider update

I got a text from rider #2 (DB3) at 12:48 PM.  I was en route to the Volcano Checkpoint and didn't get the text right away.  His text said "Lunch stop in Amboyeeee!" and that he was a bit early for the checkpoint.

2 WHeeL 12 - Rider Update

Just got a text from rider # 2 (DB3).  He's fueling in Chiraco Summit. He has bagged Pioneertown, nearly every aspect of the JT National Park and the General.  He's now headed west and north (I think).

2 WHeeL 12 rider update

DB2 and Dee (collectively known as Rider #1) just dropped me a text message letting me know that they had already bagged the bonii at Iron Mountain Pump Plant, Vidal Junction, and Parker Dam.  They were on schedule and fueling in Parker AZ at the time of the text.

2 WHeeL 12 - Gas stops so early?

Turns out that I was wrong about Ape Hanger and Chrome traveling north on Adobe Rd. shortly after the start of the rally. How do I know this? Shortly after my previous post we wrapped up everything at the start and the four of us traveled caravan style over to a local greasy spoon cafe for some gravy covered omelettes. Well, on the way to the cafe I noticed two Milwaukee types at a local gas station. Guess who? Yep, it was Ape Hanger and Chrome. At just after 6:30 they were prepping to leave their first gas stop...nearly 1/4 mile from the start of the rally. Good luck fellas.

The next interaction that I am likely to have is during the one hour call in checkpoint between 11am and Noon (PDT). Of the two available checkpoints most riders have chosen the call-in option. Then, at noon Tasha, GZ, and I will be heading to the physical checkpoint near Amboy, CA.

The weather is perfect (a bit of a chill in the air now that the sun is up) and it should be a great day to rally.
